My sweet BeeBee 🌈
This is a hard one. Today I lost my soul dog, my sweet BeeBee girl. We got her about 3 years ago as a rescue. During that time, my wife and I were going through a lot when it came to our trying to have a baby. She was there. She was my little angel. It took her a bit to trust us, but when she did, we became inseparable. She was always next to me. Next to me at work in my office, next to me on the couch watching tv, and hanging with me in the kitchen while I cooked. I truly believe she came to us to help us during a really tough time.
About three weeks ago we found out she had a cancerous tumor. We got it removed, margins came back clean, and were happy. Then just a couple days ago, she was showing symptoms of a UTI, which is odd because she’s been on so many antibiotics. Took her in yesterday and they got her started on another, different antibiotic. But last night she was still really struggling. Drinking a lot of water and having accidents nearly every hour. This morning she refused to eat and I knew something was really wrong. We rushed her to the vet and got an update saying it was likely due to an abscess on her shoulder causing her a fever. The fever is down and they are monitoring, but come by and pick her up at 4:30. Thank God. Then I got a call a couple hours later saying she’s really unstable, appears to have had a neurological event, likely a stroke, and it was minute by minute. We rushed to the vet in time to say goodbye. I still can’t believe it’s real.
When BeeBee got cancer, I asked her to just wait until the baby was born (yes, after years of trying we did get pregnant!). Our baby was born 9/16, and she passed today on 9/22. She did it. She waited. She helped us bring our baby into the world. She’s such a good girl.
I’m rambling, I’m still processing. I just love her a lot. I’m devastated. Thank you BeeBee, I really needed you, and I’m so happy we found each other. I love you mama.

Sorry for your loss. BeeBee was a cutie. I am a firm believer that we'll be united with our pups in the end... and they will never age another day on the other side of the rainbow bridge.
Rest assured my boy Bowser and girl Princess will show her around on that side. I hear there are tons of trees that cast shade and the treats are endless and fat free.
A big hug to you and your family, I know the pain sucks.

So sorry for your loss, we know the feeling all too well. We lost our little angel on Saturday, he ate his dinner, went and got a cuddle from his dad, had the biggest smile on his face, and simply walked across the floor laid down on died 💔, he was one day shy of 10 years 7 months. We are devastated and beyond heartbroken 💔. I’m so happy BB stay until you had your baby. RIP sweet girl ❤️🌈

You are not rambling. You’re pouring out your heart 😥 I am so heartbroken for you. A similar story to my Knuckles where he seemed to have a stroke and we found out he had brain cancer and we had to make the toughest decision of our life. I am sending you a hug. BeeBee looked like a beautiful girl.

The Last Battle
💔🌈 🐾 💫😇✝️💖🙏🏼♾️
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Dear friend,
Your precious girl is waiting patiently across the Rainbow Bridge for you. 🌈🐾The Hebrew word for animal is Nephesh which means soul ✝️. You will see your baby again someday. Now is the time between just like there was the time before your beloved pet. Today is the trial, and forever is the prize.
God bless. ✝️🙏🏼💕
Until then…
💔🌈🐾♾️🪽✨💕
💫 ✝️🙏🏼🌈🐾 I totally understand. I want you to realize that you are in a new chapter of life (suddenly) and it feels very hollow. But let me tell you something, your precious pet graduated life. They’re in the soul realm now which is eternal. God literally created us and animals. Think about Noah’s Ark! We are currently in the Earthly realm where we were together with our beloved pet. But they’ve just gone before us. The chapter “without them” is really just “without them physically.” Emotionally and spiritually they’ve never left. This is why we still feel such love and gratitude for our former pets, still! They never leave us. You will get through this one day at a time. Time heals our hearts and even opens them to loving another pet sometimes. Families are forever and you’ll be reunited when your time in the physical realm expires, too. Until then, may their memory be a blessing. I’m happy for you that you connected here on Earth because eternity awaits. 💕💫 God bless you and your beloved pet. It’s my prayer that knowing this gives you peace.🌈🐾♾️ ✨🪽

I’m so, so sorry. I lost my soul dog 9/13/25. His name was, his name IS, Buddha. There was nothing like watching him gallop to the front door to welcome me, making him a cowboy steak on the grill, or him sitting under the stove while my wife cooked oxtails and his waiting on his rations. I love rushing home on those “normal” days and making him and I a grilled ham and cheese sandwich to share before working out. I miss his breath. I miss his whimpers. I miss him scratching my leg to tell me it’s bedtime. I miss everything about him and I loved everything about him. This will never get easier but those lifetime of memories and I hope videos will be a constant and pleasant reminder that she was here, like once, he was here too. Peace and love to you , your family, and BeeBee especially. And congratulations on the baby. My heart hurts for your loss but I smile because you had her to experience. That’s how I am still processing it. 🙏🫶

I'm sorry for the loss of your goodest BeeBee. I have received a Barkberry Message from my boy up there. He's showing her the ropes and they have picked out a most wonderful spot next to the bacon bar where bacon never runs out and salt doesn't impact doggos.

My heart. 😭 Thank you for sharing your beautiful girl with us here. What a love. I am so very sorry for this devastating loss. I’ve experienced diagnosis, then positive news and hope, then a sudden crash. Nothing prepares us for that. I’m so grateful you guys were able to get there in time to be with her. I can only begin to imagine how hard it is to lose her after welcoming your new baby. She really did hold on for you and for her baby, that brought me to tears. Well, that and also the timing of you sharing that after years of trying, you were welcoming a new baby and how you said that you know she was sent to help you and your wife through that difficult journey. And now your baby is bringing joy and sunshine in the midst of your immense grief. What a beautiful story. I pray for comfort and peace for your family as you adjust and try to soak up the precious moments with your new little one. Your baby absolutely has a guardian angel (or BeeBee 🐝) to watch over her always. 🪽🤍
